TEXT OF SPEECH


Hey guys, my name’s Tiago. Foothill is pretty chill, I hope it’s better than middle school because middleschool was kinda boring. I have some goals for my freshman year and beyond, relating to school, homelife, and athletics.


Here are some of my academic goals for my high school career. I am going to strive to achieve no grades below a B+. I’m going to try to be more involved in school by asking for help when I need it and give help to others when they need it. I’m going to stay organized and not have a messy binder because organization is key to success. I am also going to try to not miss any days of school. Lastly i’m going to be more involved in school by participating in a club.


I also have some family goals. I recognize that I need to help more around the house besides by taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn, and doing my laundry. I know that I can help more by cooking my family dinner more often and playing with my dog. I also am going to spend less time by myself and more time with my family. I can help around the house by being respectful to both my parents and my sister


I have some friendship goals too. I want to make new friends at foothill, and make closer bonds with my old friends. I would also like to participate in a foothill club or sports team with one of my friends. My last friendship goal is that I want to build friendships with people outside of school that live in ventura.


My sports and fitness goals are both in and out of school. I want to make Varsity baseball by sophomore year. I am always working hard for baseball and I believe I can reach 75 mph by next year. I’m going to work hard during CAPS to improve my health and fitness for baseball and other activities I participate in. I’m also going to continue surfing because it helps me stay healthy and limits my screen time to less than 2 hours every day.


To summarize my high school goals I want to:
  1. Achieve good grades and stay organized.
  2. Help more around the house.
  3. Make new friends and participate in foothill clubs.
  4. Make varsity baseball and improve my health.
